Enhanced search capabilities for Autodesk Construction Cloud® (and BIM 360®)

Try it free for a limited time

Power Search for Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360 and Autodesk Docs) enhances search capabilities across multiple projects by offering extended multi-search capabilities including searching for file names, versions, creation and modification by dates and/or users, file types, size, and custom attributes. Power Search also allows for users to copy results and update custom attributes.

BlackSmithSoft’s cloud-based app enables users to easily execute advanced searches across ACC from inside so they do not have to switch contexts in order to retrieve the information they need. Users can associate their ACC Autodesk Construction Cloud files in BlackSmithSoft and easily reference them for faster decision-making.

If needed, users can also export the files they search within BlackSmithSoft to Microsoft® Excel® to make sharing information with those not using ACC easier.

With BlackSmithSoft’s Power Search, ACC users can answer daily questions such as:

  • “What revised model files did we recently receive?”
  • “What files labeled “civil package” did John change in April?” (using Custom Attributes searching)
  • “What documents were uploaded on a certain date by subcontractor X across all our projects?” (using multi-project searching)

With the new Editor Mode, users can now update Custom Attributes (by Excel or bulk update), filter results in Excel, and even copy search results to folders.
